Picking up this show may as well have been the best decision i've made in my entire life. A show i wasn't expecting anything from turned out to be everything i was looking for. Interesting plot, brilliantly written characters that are neither good nor really "bad" people, tons of hilarious moments but also a good share of ones that would have you tearing up. Characters that no matter how much you despise are indispensable to the show. The relationships between them - the dynamics, all the hardships that they go through. This show is so much about finding the silver linings. All these characters are constantly facing with poverty - and the show does an amazing job at showing how hard it is to break out from it and from your roots.
I took my sweet time watching this show. A year and a few months to finish it, which probably isn't a long time for 11 seasons... Not because i found some episodes boring, but because i wanted to savour these moments for as long as possible. I came back to it every once in a while, for me it is an extremely comforting show (maybe it's how the gallaghers function, their dynamic, everything), even though it does not lack moments that can make you cry.
I would say i wish i can forget the show so i can watch it all over again, but i'd do it anyway, remember it or not.
